Kitkat hand holding and sending positive vibes your way!

LePetitPont · 21/01/2014 07:18

Hi ladies

Please can I be added? Found out on Sunday that I am 5 weeks, all a bit if a surprise after a (false) negative on first day of missed period. Bfp only showed up a week later! Both oh and I scared of jinxing it but a friend has guessed as we have just pulled out of booking a last minute ski holiday...

Me: 33
Oh: 33
Edd: 21st September
Baby number 1, cycle number 6
Live in north west Leeds, hoping for LGI as near work for scans etc (but not volunteering for One Born Every Minute!)

kitkat hope everything is ok.

sittingpretty25 · 21/01/2014 07:41

Kitkat - hope you are ok - why do the scary things always happen at night time!

And kicks - oh wow twins!! We would love twins (my theory is a boy and a girl so I wouldn't have to do it again!!) congrats!!

I'm booking in with the md tomorrow will be just day under 7 weeks but no date for scan yet. Hoping it will be end of feb there abouts as my parents in law live abroad and coming over March so would be good to have good news then Smile

Sickness comes and goes but think I'm so far one of the lucky ones and it's not bad at all (unless I let my tummy go empty) but still getting the stomach cramps - pretty much always there - personally I'm thinking it's nothing to worry about (who am I kidding?) and I just need to man up. Blush

sjs152 · 21/01/2014 07:44

Marking place on nice new thread Smile

KitKat1985 · 21/01/2014 08:51

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I've got an emergency appointment to see my GP at 10am, as she said to contact her in the first instance during early pregnancy if there were are issues. Spotting seems to have stopped (for now) but I know that regardless it may not be great news, but I'm trying to keep an open mind for now. I know I shouldn't have allowed myself to get attached so early on but if it is an MC I'm going to absolutely devastated, and I know DH will too. Can't believe I only had my booking appointment with the midwife yesterday and now this happens.

kicksandgiggles · 21/01/2014 08:58

Kitkat, try not to be scared - spotting does not necessarily indicate something bad (as you've seen with a few of us now), and when I was googling the other day while I was spotting, I found many examples of spotting that were attributed to implantation even up to seven/eight weeks. But do go get checked out for peace of mind. Good luck!

Sitting, since mine are identical, they will either both be boys, or both be girls! I have no vibe either way yet (with DS, I felt from very early on that he was a boy), and would love daughters, but somehow I can picture myself ending up with a house full of boys! I don't mind either way, but we will definitely be finding out the gender as soon as we can.

Sorry to those who are feeling nauseous - I'm right there with you. It feels a lot like my first pregnancy, when I found that it really helped not to let myself get too hungry, because if I did, I felt quite sick and then didn't want to eat anything. Snacking is good, including the old biscuit before getting out of bed thing, and I find ginger does help.

Also meant to weigh in on the conversations about placentas and bras. With my home water birth, I didn't have the injection as wanted to keep things natural. I hung out in the pool for a while and got some skin-to-skin with DS, but things weren't moving, so they suggested I get out of the pool. Sorry, TMI: I actually ended up delivering the placenta on the toilet - the MWs had to get it out!

As for bras, I really highly recommend Bravissimo. It's the only place I've ever gotten properly fitting, supportive bras, and they have a good range of fairly pretty nursing bras in bigger sizes. There are other pretty ones like Hotmilk, but they don't go up high enough in size for me. And warning: at Bravissimo, you will probably come out in a bigger size than you thought you needed, but that's because you've probably been wearing poorly fitting bras without knowing it.

Firstimemum3 · 21/01/2014 09:16

littlemissy thinking of you and hope you've got lots of support.
rockin thanks for new thread.

kicksandgiggles that's amazing!!! :)

Still no sickness or main symptoms with me either. Only now and then feel sick but not sick and feel knackered. Have good day everyone x

Lottiedoubtie · 21/01/2014 09:23

Can I join?

7 weeks today. And feeling sick, tired and unable to concentrate on anything!

Bras slowly killing me... Have two on order from Bravissimo really hope they arrive today!

rockin20s · 21/01/2014 09:51

KitKat1985 · 21/01/2014 11:17

Hey all. Just to give you guys an update. Saw GP who basically said it's 50:50 if it's the start of a miscarriage or nothing to worry about. She's referred me for a scan at the early pregnancy assessment unit but it won't be until tomorrow morning, so I have 24 hours of thumb-twiddling until then. She also said because the scan will be early (I won't even be due to be 6 weeks until Friday) it may be that they won't be able to give a definitive answer as they might not be able to see much and might ask me to come back in a few days. Hoping they can give me an answer one way or the other tomorrow because the not knowing is killing me.

rockin20s · 21/01/2014 11:22

are you still bleeding kitkat?

OP posts:
noitsachicken · 21/01/2014 11:26

Hi kitkat,
I went to EPU yesterday as I was spotting, had a scan and all ok, bleeding more today, like the start of a period. I spoke to them on the phone this morning and they said bleeding can get worse before it gets better, but to get in touch if it carries on for a few days.
Its so hard isn't it, I didn't have this at all last time. I just want it to stop now!

KitKat1985 · 21/01/2014 11:41

I've had a bit of light brown discharge this morning. I don't need a pad for it, but it's there when I wipe if you see what I mean (again sorry for the TMI). I don't want to get too despondent just yet as I know it may well be nothing, but at the same time I don't want to get my hopes up as I know it's not a good sign. Have asked DH to come to scan tomorrow with me as don't think I'd could cope being on my own if they turn around and say they think I've miscarried.

Sorry to hear your in the same limbo-land noitsachicken, although it's good news that they thought everything was okay at your scan. Hopefully your bleeding stops soon and you can feel reassured. Do you mind if I ask how many weeks you are? xx

noitsachicken · 21/01/2014 11:52

Dates put me at 7+6, but according to scan yesterday said 6+3.
Its such a worry.

EPU were brilliant though, and said to call at any time. Hope all ok for you x

rockin20s · 21/01/2014 11:55

light brown means old blood so that is good! try to keep your head up kitkat!

OP posts:
sebsmummy1 · 21/01/2014 12:00

Oh girls I am so sorry for this worry.

As you know I had brown and dark red blood last Thursday that then got lighter and lighter to the point that today it has pretty much gone. Now I have no idea if this is good news or just the calm before the storm, but I am not even 5 weeks yet do I'm just sitting tight.

Thinking of you both and hoping this is one of those things and everything progresses as it should xx

Mummyinpink1289 · 21/01/2014 12:02

lucidlady your scan date is the same as mine Smile, 5 weeks to go seems unbearable doesnt it?!

KitKat1985 · 21/01/2014 12:04

Thanks sebsmummy. Thinking of both you and noitsachicken at this time. Crossing fingers that we all get good news at the end of this. xxx

Mummyinpink1289 · 21/01/2014 12:22

sorry just caught up with the thread, glad someone else has had what i had over the weekend Kitkat - i noticed some brown spotting, wasnt enough to notice in knickers but was there when i wiped (sorry tmi). seems to have started after DTD and lasted only a day and stopped on sunday night but i was too scared to actually walk about it incase it was the start of a mc. Googled (a lot!) and it does say its fairly common and brown is far better than red so im praying that everything is ok, i still feel pregnant - nausea, round ligament pain, peeing alot so fingers crossed everything is ok. Dont want to call the midwife as i dont want to worry DH as he is so scared of something going wrong i feel like i have to be strong for the both of us!

sebsmummy1 · 21/01/2014 13:14

I think I am worrying more because I don't feel in the least bit pregnant. Perhaps if I was throwing up every morning is feel more positive.

I am testing daily and each test is dark so for the moment I am going with 'everything will be ok until I know different'.

rockin20s · 21/01/2014 13:22

ya i stopped testing last Friday morning, my Thursday morning test was a little lighter and I completely freaked out, the friday morning test was just as dark as the others so for my own sanity I stopped testing, there can be batch differences and the concentration of your urine can effect the results.

awaiting my HCG levels from the doc but it will be a few days yet. i dont feel pregnant either, its just early days, I have a few symptoms but they are minor and come and go.
